Introduction to m-Kadex
m-Kadex is a simpler version of Kadex. The terminal is designed without any keypads or
LCD. m-Kadex functions similarly like Kadex but management of the terminals have to
be done from the software. The m-Kadex can enrol new cards and delete cards at the
terminal only if the administrator card is available. Absence of administrator card would
not allow any operations to be carried out at the terminal.
